I think the younger generations, with all of their challenges and complaints, still need to look in the mirror and reflect on what they can do for themselves.
In India, we don't have that trend of doing everything on our own, I think no one does that. However, one still needs to plan and take care of everything, to run a house and the young generation even hesitates to do this little, which is really sad. They don't want to do anything but still want to live a very comfortable life, which is simply not possible for a long time, because of increased responsibility.
Why don't people do things for themselves there, is it a cultural thing?
Kind of, as we have cheap labor available, so you will always find better skilled people doing that job in affordable price.
